My dear Meldola¹

Many thanks for weighing the seeds. On making use of your extract about deceased butterflies there appears to be a curious mistake — in 10th. line sh^d. not "white Pieridae" — be "white Ithomias" — Yet Boisduval² gives Lep. melite as being Black, yel. & orange. I cannot make sense of it as it stands so return it for correction.

I am going to Manchester on Tuesday 20th. and want to [2] come up on Monday to see Macmillan about book,³ & shall be glad of a bed that night if quite convenient to Mrs. Meldola.⁴

Thistleton Dyer⁵ gave it to Romanes⁶ rather warm!

Yours faithfully| Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
